American Idol Results Week 1

Welcome to the first cut night. Where men are men and the women should rule. :)

32 million votes, a great start and another indication of the juggernaut that is American Idol.

Ok, group song time. Can they make this any cornier? Get something new, guys. And please--"Sowing the Seeds of Love"? Why? WHY LORD WHY?

Not that I don't like Tears for Fears...but that was over a decade ago. They could have at least had a fun version of "Sexyback" or something to again give merit to this night instead of seeing who's head is going to get chopped off.

Who's got the edge?

Chris Sligh's comments about Simon: Pure comedy.

Let's get to it.

Holy crap!! Sundance is safe? COME ON AMERICA, What the dilly-o??? That is about as surprising as Curtis getting bumped off on 24.

Paul gets voted off? Wow...I am floored. I thought for sure that he would be safe for a couple of weeks; while I think that this may be a cop out, perhaps America may not be ready for an Asian American Idol. He didn't deserve to go home this early.

OK--another soapbox moment here...American Idol's tradition of having the loser sing, especially the song they got voted out on, is just pure evil to me. Why would anyone want to do that? It doesn't make sense other than to kill time; it's DEGRADING.

Now onto the first cut for the girls...I was surprised to see Leslie and Antonella on the first set, because I thought that they would maybe both be going home, although my gut said Antonella and Alaina (see previous post).

HOLY CRAP PART 2!!! Antonella is safe? I cannot believe this at all.....

Amy gets voted off. Just like in my previous post, I think that her lack of uniqueness did her in. That's too bad, because she blew away three other women, in my opinion.

After the plug for the American Idol challenge, we get to see Fantasia Barrino, er, Grace Jones, er Wesley Snipes from Judge Dredd, er, sorry, that IS Fantasia. After watching about 30 seconds of the performance, I am wondering if she is going to swallow the mic. GOOD LORD that woman has a big mouth! ;p

Now, onto the second round of cuts for the girls...

Grrrrrrr!! Nicole gets voted off. Again, I can't believe that--because she was not in my top 2 or three. I am REALLY surprised by the results so far.

Alrighty then...the guys' turn. I wouldn't be surprised with the way it's gone if America voted off Taylor Hicks this week...

Alright, well officially I am 0-for-4. Rudy going home is another travesty--he took a risk and it evidently didn't pay off, and going first obviously hurt him as well. He was much better than at least three other guys that night.

So....that's a wrap. I am dumbfounded by this. It looks like I am going to have to start racking up a bunch of text message charges in order to get my picks!!!

GOOSEY--OUT!!!
